Condolence & Memory Journal

Jonna & Chris,
Your parents were my favorite camp people. Your Dad never stopped teasing me about whatever boyfriend happened to be around at the moment---and your Mom was unceasingly kind(and accepted everyone for what they were). I loved knowing that they were up the hill.

Dear Jonna, Chris and family, We are so blessed to have known your mother for so many years. Remembering how we would call out to her from our porch to her porch at camp. Lots of great memories, laughs and talks shared. We'll miss seeing her but her presence at Pine Terrace will always be with us. Nancy was a good friend to my family and a wonderful adviser to me. Thank you Nancy, and God bless and keep you. Love, Joanne Duggan Price and family
